New Project

After all I decided to do a DIY project cabin.


My first question is about interface. I´ve reading about solutions and will choose one of this options:

1º Roboteq Ax500 Price 159$ + p.p

Pros: All in one, controller 115000 bps + 2x8 continuos amp dc pwm control (15a pike)

Cons: Maybe 8 amp per channel isn´t enought and ax1500 goes to 291 $ + p.p (30a pike, 16 continuos)


2º Picaxe 28x1 Starter kit + 2x hb-25 motor controller

Pros: 30 amp x channel, 4 analog out an price, 160$ + p.p

Cons: I´ve got no idea about programming it¡¡¡

Someone helps me?

Thanks¡¡¡

thanks again and sorry for my try of babelfish language translator XDDD

At last, I just bought picaxe 28x1 starter kit, in a week it will be at home. Hope with your help I could program it¡¡¡

Thanks to all¡¡¡

Greetings Manocito,

Ian of Buggiesbuiltforfun has already written a .bas file for the 28X1, you can download it for free here. http://buggies.builtforfun.co.uk/Sim/sim-downloads.html It was written with MD03 controllers in mind so a little bit of tweaking maybe required for your motor controllers.

Here is the key to reading the data

//

'Wait for the start signal from the PC PID controller - the input values are ignored but the program
'will wait here until the PC controller sends a serial packet

serin 7, N9600_8, (AB), b4, b5, b6, b7, b8, b9
//

The trick is writing a translator program to convert the game data to meaningful information the 28X1 can work with. Ian calls his FlightSim utility the BFF driver.

I have a 28X1 waiting in the shadows for just such a car-sim utility. I am using Simple-H power switches at moment but would need to check if I can use them with the Picaxe.

If sirnoname can help guide you with how to read the serial info using x-sim software into a picaxe chip then I will follow this thread very closely indeed!

thanks, i´ll try when it arrives. Hope I could communicate with x-sim too.

Bye¡¡

Moved, what has moved?

Simulator projects -> controllers^^

As I saw in picaxe web page I think it will be no problem to communicate with USO.

meanwhile here is a 3dsmax file about my motion platform XDDD

Okay okay I know I´m a 3dsmax pro¡¡¡

The motor will be placed under the seat and the pivot joint of x axis are not at the same level to recreate a effect like r´n´r or something like that.
